Review ch. 2 ideas and poems:
Now reconsider last week's poem with the four questions above:
"Sign for My Father, Who Stressed the Bunt"
Answer the four questions in your notes for each:
Ready for a rather tricky poem?
"Loveliest of Trees" by A.E. Housman
The tricky part has to do with the kind of imagery the author has chosen for spring.
A dark, tricky poem by the same author?
"Is My Team Ploughing" by A.E. Housman
A trick there is discerning the speaker(s).
And some sea faring:
"Sea Fever" by John Masefield
